well basicly 2 video cards work together. the speed is split in half for each one. instead of 4GBps its 2Gbps for each card. they use a bridge chip connect the video cards together. you have 2 SLI enabled video cards (Nvidia cards) that are exactly the same with sli support and pciE ;-). you just plug your monitor cord into the first video card.
ya need a motherboard that supports SLI also.
ATI is has something comming out its more confusing then this :-S

Okay, great, thanks a bunch!

If anyone sees the thread though, and has some personal experience with the subject, I'd appreciate their input.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Seemed to me, while the writing was informative and definatly is helping me make a decision, thought some actual response from people would be great, as I'm sure very few people can afford two very high end cards, myself settling on the 256mb 6800s.
